[footyclub1]

i was there tooo,i was in the holland jury..big time

[MrBillybonka]

all them records he's spinning are still top notch today !!!!!

[justrightco1]

so great to my friend CJ doing his thing and killing it..awesome.

[Slicearoni]

I thought Chad Jackson won the uk final in 87???

[nibaru2012]

@Slicearoni Chad won the World title , Cj's performance in the world final was not as good as this one.

[nibaru2012]

Great to see this again, I was in the crowd that night. CJ started a new craze of Transforming between the decks, which for budding DJ's across the country was a great new way to express their art. I got a good look at sue pollard too!! Has anyone got footage of Chad Jackson on this nite?

[fumatorefolle]

pauraaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

[DjGaryMillar01]

Please read my channel profile about this legendary club, & how to access it on BBC TEES.. Just follow the instructions.. Gary.

[DjGaryMillar01]

Cj appeared at my then residency.. The Madison nightclub in Middlesbrough.

he did a "Live" remix/cut of his MARRS classic "Pump Up The Volume" & Hashim's "Al Naa Fishe" & brought the house down!

Even today he's still one of my all time favourite dj's & still a force to be reckoned with.

Oh, those halcyon days!

Fabulous.. but they'll never be back - pure magic.

Thank you so much for this rare dmc treat.

Kind regards, Gary.

@DjGaryMillar01 i went to the madison on that night and cj was in a different league blew everyone away was walking round the decks on the stage while still scratching....excellent!!!

[mixit313]

Word!

[telkmx]

Fresh Tchek my pillow baby check chelk

[StargateCommando]

I think the woman behind would have gone loopy and danced more mentally than she did if C.J. scratched his arse

[bobbitt187]

@StargateCommando lol.. maybe he was farting angel dust!

[StargateCommando]

@bobbitt187 Hahahaha I love it. He could be renamed DJ PCP

[djalvind]

THIS WAS b4 ALL OF U WERE BORN !THIS IS HIPHOP IN THE 1980s!

WHEN IT WAS JUST REALLY STARTING! TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM!

DONT HATE CUZ THIS NEW SKOOL SHIT IS WACK!

[scratchatune]

@djalvind totally agree with you man, this guy was one of the pioneers of the cut in the uk, his scratching was ahead of its time then, he had his own clean style and scratched on some brilliant records in the 80s..

he influenced people and is a legend regardless of some of these comments.. every man and his dog have a set of decks now and think there gods gift cos they can crab or somet cos theve watched some cheesy utube tutorial..

back in the days u learned yourself & ure own style

[motivatedbyhate]

@djalvind shut up you old fuck

[martynpank]

This won? The runners up must have been dreadful!

[maccagrabme]

@martynpank Yes it won because back then this was a new concept and if you were around at the same time I bet CJ would have kicked your ass too as you wouldn't have had access to the internet or had the headstart that every dj has today with non skip needles, mixer faders that are effortless etc. Back then it was a LOT harder and you couldn't hide behind a crab scratch all night.

[martynpank]

@maccagrabme ".....and if you were around at the same time..." Mac? I'm 45! I am comparing this to 1986! Dj Cheese was a far better mix! As Dj Cheese 'set the bar' For the next year. I thought it would have been a little better! .........esp. when you consider what was to come in the DMC chanpionships!

[maccagrabme]

@martynpank You have to cast your mind back to what things were like then. The transformer scratch was brand new and he had good control over it pretty early on, much better than most if not all Uk djs at that time. That would have sounded awesome at the time as it still sounds pretty clean even though he was using a switch. Of course DJ Cheese was a much better overall scratcher but I'm not even sure that he was even transforming at the time if at all. The crab today is the equivalent.

[martynpank]

@maccagrabme Thanks Mac! I have a had another listen! I think the sound quality is very poor & if it wasn't overtaken by the F*****g row of the crowd, I could make a better judgement! Respect & regards! Pank.

[martynpank]

@maccagrabme PS. I too, think that alot of DJ's hide behind the 'Crab Scratch' & seen a DMC mix where a guy 'Crab-Scratched' for the whole mix! That ain't talent! A Baboon could do that! LOL!

[67fordie]

@martynpank THIS GUY WAS FIVE YEAR IN FRONT OF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE UK AT THE TIME, THIS GUY WAS THE FIRST GUY TO PERFORM THE TRANSFORM SCRATCH. I WATCHED THIS LIVE AND THEN I WATCH DJ CHESSE AND THEN I NEW HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE AT THE TIME. SO TO ALL YOU BEDROOM DJ'S WHO THINK THIS IS NOT WORLD CLASS, THATS WHY YOU ARE BEDROOM DJ'S.

[martynpank]

@67fordie If you are only going to speak to me in capital letters, ie. SHOUTING! Then, do one! If you want to talk as an adult, then I will continue! I will not accept a person who is forthright! .....................Actually, I can't be bothered! There are more important thngs in life than arguing about mixing! Just enjoy it!

[1gooba]

ho-de-ho

[dutchtrucker]

Why was Sue Pollard hanging around in the back ground?

[MegaDeeman]

@dutchtrucker lookin 4 cock prob



[LinxAudio]

@dutchtrucker lol

[red53more]

why is he called "CJ" , not "DJ"?

[shitboy24]

@red53more because of his name : "C"hristopher "J"ohn Mackintosh

[red53more]

@shitboy24

oh thank you! I see.

[beaubuin]

ive heard cj do better sets than this durring other heats. a better sence of timeing than some. loved his style.

[cmuxer]

Total turnoff to his set...sure CJ didnt have the guts to tell the crazy lady to stop bumpin like she does.

[caneytt]

who's the crazy woman in the background!

[djcjam]

HAHAHA

[feedmecoolshit]

man i was there.... ha ha ha ah

[scratchatune]

this is a dodgey set he did but i know how good this guy was in the late 80s,, his scratching ability for the day was outstanding, i still love his style even now and have much respect for the guy..

and how into his set is that women passin him the tunes..

im sure she was in the beat masters..

peaceeeee...

[brublank]

The House music remixes that CJ has done in the past, is beyond this world. This guy is a phenomenon

[scratchatune]

cj was technically one of the best uk scratchers at the time... very clean scratches...

[SuNdAyfAcEuk]

anyone remember"The Battle of the D-J'S"???I Think it was on Champion Records!??someone please let me know.....

[jeepisgone]

Check the response i added there ;)

[tygaelement]

i remember those dj megamix battle albums on champion records.

The compilations had

chad jackson v dj cheese

whiz kid v jazzy jeff

cj mackintosh v streets ahead

cj also mixed on some upfront compilations on serious records

cj had some nice transformer scratches but you can tell his style was influenced by

rock the go go by robbie b & jazzy jay

[scratchatune]

i defo remember them, about 1987 they released two albums in the series as i recall.. it was defo champion records..

one mix was streets ahead and i think dj cheese did one, chad jackson might have joined in one of the earlier ones..

i have em somewhere, they got like an album and then a seperate disc with the mixes on

[SayDooDoo]

Thanks for uploading this. I remember CJ Mackintosh's name on records, but I've never seen that.

[PingusFR]

[repo136]

Never seen this before. The only other time I've seen CJ scratching was on TOTP with MARRS "Pump Up The Volume".

And why's Timmy Mallet's sister on stage??

[djmystery1975]
